Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Brush bread slices on both sides with olive oil/melted butter. Cut bread slices up into small cubes. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and spices (if desired). I like using paprika, thyme, summer savory or mint. Arrange cubes on an ungreased baking sheet.Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 10-15 minutes or until browned. Let cool. You can store croutons in a covered container or plastic bag.Serve croutons in soups or salads.ENJOY

Hi Jess,I think toaster will partially work for this recipe. when you cut the toasted slices into cubes, their sides will be soft, not crispy like the ones toasted in the oven. But you can give a try to see how it works:)
